Great!
So it doesn't matter if I believe in unevidenced, illogical, irrational ancient myths or not, I still get to heaven.
What if I don't want the deal?
Have you even stopped to think about what unending life would actually mean? It would become hell after some finite period of time.
Yeah good point, the idea that you can only go to heaven if you would just only believe a way of thinking, a kind of allegiance, or neurons smashing in the brain a particular way is nonsensical. I take afterlife as a metaphor.
What does that even mean? We use metaphors to understand ideas or subjects we don't fully get. But the metaphor doesn't make a place like heaven exist? The actual implication is that our human minds can imagine a place like it even contrary to the evidence of a realm like that existing.
